 TAWSF ORGANIZES SEMINAR ON WOMEN'S HEALTH ISSUES
On January 21, TAWSF organized a presentation of women's health issues, focusing on 'Menopause' and 'Osteoporosis'. The event was well attended. Dr. Ye_im Güleçyüz, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Christ Hospital, and a member of TAWSF, discussed methods of preventing Osteoporosis, which affects thousands of women in their post menopausal stage. Dr. Barbara Soltes, specialist in breast cancer and menopause at St. Luke's Rush Presbyterian Hospital, enlightened the audience on the symptoms of pre- and post-menopause, and various treatments available. The presentation emphasized the importance of exercising a minimum of 30 minutes a day, eating a balanced diet, taking vitamins and minerals such as calcium (1200 milligrams a day), vitamin E and daily multi-vitamins. The presentation ended with questions and answers. Various handouts were also available. It was a highly informative and well-received event. As a result, the organization collected more than $800.00, which will almost cover the cost of a scholarship for one student for an entire academic year. We would like to thank all of those who attended this event and for their generous contribution to our scholarship program.
